Dear Coaching Applicant,
Thank you for considering applying to coach a baseball team, either for a league team, a tournament team, or both. You are the single most important component in the success of the Grand Ledge Youth Baseball program, and the Board of Directors sincerely appreciates your willingness to donate your time and expertise to our program. As you know, there can only be one head coach for each team. Therefore, the Board of Directors has established a Coach Selection Committee that is charged with selecting the best possible head coaches to run our teams. If you are not selected as a head coach, it is my sincere hope that you will find an alternative way to assist the program, either as an assistant coach, or in some other capacity.
